Former Texas Governor Rick Perry is hitting back at Donald Trump.

In a statement, Perry knocked Trump’s criticism of the governor’s 14-year tenure in Austin, saying the New York businessman has a “fundamental misunderstanding of border security.”

“Make no mistake – border security is a federal responsibility, but when I met with President Obama last year and it became clear he would not act, I told him if he would not secure the border, Texas would,” Perry said in his statement, echoing comments he made on MSNBC Thursday morning. “Rather than thanking Texas for stepping into a gap it shouldn’t have to fill, Mr. Trump has made clear that he believes the states should fend for themselves on border security. Not only is this wrong, it perpetuates the same failed policies that have left our southern border porous and vulnerable.”

Perry, who has also denounced Trump’s characterization of Mexican immigrants, added a word of a caution to Republican primary voters. “I have a message for my fellow Republicans and the independents who will be voting in the primary process: what Mr. Trump is offering is not conservatism, it is Trump-ism – a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense,” he said.

        Let’s save it for the debates or we’ll ruin our appetites.

          The correct term is “debates.” No practitioner of forensics would recognize what they will be doing as a true debate.

        Love seeing them eat their OWN, with popcorn EXCELLENT.

      Exactly! Maybe Perry’s ranch is now owned by Trump Entertainment, which also owns the shuttered Trump Plaza, Bankrupt Trump Taj Mahal, etc.

        Isn’t that the official name, the Bankrupt Trump Taj Majal? Maybe the next time he declares (and it’s bound to happen again), the court should make that a condition, that the word “bankrupt” is added to the name of his properties.

          Trump’16~ bankrupted Trump Entertainment casinos. Next the USA!

            Not if we don’t vote for him.

    And who should know demagoguery and nonsense better than Rick Perry?

    First time I ever agreed with anything that Perry ever said.

    “a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense,”

    Ex-Governor Goodhair better watch his mouth, has he looked in the mirror today?

      “GOP – A TOXIC MIX OF DEMAGOGUERY AND NONSENSE” That’s a bumper sticker.

    Trump, the dregs of bush created oligarchs.
